Showcase Sunday #25

Hello and welcome to Showcase Sunday. Inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren, the aim of Showcase Sunday is to highlight our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders each week. For more information about how this feature works and how to join in, click here.

Aaaand as I predicted last week, all the review books I was waiting for arrived almost at the same time, hence I’ve had quite a busy week for a change. Huzzah! A Curious Invitation was an unsolicited one but I actually really like the sound of it. Also, the cover is just gorgeous and very shiny. It looks horrendous and very dark in this picture but if you’d like to see how lovely it looks, here’s a slightly better photo I tweeted the other day.

Also, do you remember by ‘Top 5 Halloween Reads‘ post from last week? Fergus McNeil’s Eye Contact was one of the five books on my list and then I was offered a review copy from the lovely people at Hodder. It sounds very creepy but I’m really looking forward to reading this one. Hodder also sent me the new Melissa Hill book which sounds like another lovely Christmas read.

I’ve seen Maria Duffy’s book a lot since it was released and heard great things about it but I’ve never actually had the time to get it and read it. Last week Maria asked me if I’d like a review copy and Hachette sent it to me all the way from faraway Ireland! As for The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Jess from Gone With the Words had a banned books giveaway on her blog and I was one of the winners. I’ve been meaning to read this book for a while so I’m super glad I won a copy.

As always, an enormous thank you goes to Maria Duffy, Hachette Ireland, Hodder & Stoughton, Picador and Jess from Gone With the Words for all these lovely books.

What did you get this week? Are you ready for Halloween? Make sure to leave a link to your own Showcase Sunday post in the linky below and feel free to leave me some comment love after linking up. And feel free to use the Halloween version of the Showcase Sunday button if you like it. Have a great weekend!

Ooh- some great looking books there- and congratulations on your win. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one that I’ve been meaning to read forever as well.
The cover for A Curious Invitation is so pretty!Sally@Always Lost in Stories recently posted..Showcase Sunday 28th October 2012

It is nice to receive some good books in the post! I’m all sorted for Halloween now – I’ve been reading some spooky books so I know what to do is anything scary happens on Wednesday! Mel S recently posted..My Book Haul / Showcase Sundays

Ohh, I need to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower as soon as possible. I’ve been putting it off for the longest time and I’m running out of excuses.
Happy reading!Maja (The Nocturnal Library) recently posted..Showcase Sunday (10)

Some amazing books Vicky! I really like the cover to A Curious Invitation, it’s absolutely stunning! You’ve also reminded me I really need to buy Perks of Being a Wallflower! Hope you enjoy all your books!

I admit that originally the only reason I wanted to see The Perks of Being a Wallflower is because Emma Watson is in it, but after reading raving reviews about the book on GR I kind of want to check it out before watching the movie. I hope you enjoy it! ^^

Great books highlighted here. I love that the Christmas books are starting to be featured. It’s too early for the stores to be putting Christmas things out but it’s never to early to read Christmas stories.Susan @ The Book Bag recently posted..Showcase Sunday #15

No problem. I have tons of review books to tread through too. Whenever you get the time to start reading it, just send me a tweet and if the time suits me as well, we can read together. If not, there are many more books to buddy read together.

Your books sound great! I wanna read Perks of Being a Wallflower!! Nice haul this week (PS – my Showcase post is linked to LAST week’s post cause I do mine on Thursdays…. Next week I’ll be linking to this one. I know, it’s backwards – sorry!)Ang @ The Next Chapter recently posted..Showcase Thursday 19
